    Hello Angie! Don't bother with a dremel. I had one and it burned up
    (stank, too.) Get a Foredom or a Gesswein - the best you can buy, it
    will last for years. 

    And for every 50 to 100 hours of use, oil the flexshaft. Take the
    coiled metal thingamabob out of the rubber hose and grease it. This
    keeps it from binding up and stuff. They taught us this at TIJT, and
    it's excellent advice. My simple Foredom C is going on seven years
    old, and still works like a champ. Have a Gesswein, too; but only
    use it for special occasions. ;)

Good Luck!
Susannah
